InDesign CC 2019 - font error issues with PDFs
When latest InDesign CC 2019 creates a PDF using certain fonts, an error message appears when opening PDF in Acrobat Pro DC: "Cannot extract the embedded font 'JLUSWO+fontname'. Some characters may not display or print correctly."

InDesign 2025 / v20.0: »background task« tries to activate font all the time
Working with the font Minion Pro InDesign 2025 wants to activate the font in the background (shown in the background tasks panel) although it IS activated.
Closing the document does not bother InDesign. It still wants to activate the font (see screenshot 2).
Quit & Restart helps, but it should work correctly without it.

When exporting a PDF with the Japanese version of InDesign for Mac, the Osaka font is used for the characters in the page information. If there are voiced or semi-voiced sound marks of Japanese characters in the file name, an error will be displayed and the characters will be garbled because Osaka does not support those characters.

Font disappears when size of text is changed
When working in a text box and changing the size of the font, the text disappears altogether. If I change the font to a different one, the text reappears, then change font back to the one I used originally and text disappears again. (For example: changed font from default myriad pro to Ultra--text still showing; changed font size--text disappears; change font to Roboto (or anything else)--text reappears.)
No matter position of text box, size of box, size of font, changing to overprint view, nothing makes the text reappear except changing the font to something else. Font/text is…2 votes -

rvrnfeature runs too early for many real-world substitutions. The solution in font-making land has been to use thercltorrligfeatures instead, but at least the former is not supported by InDesign. This is a major headache for e.g. Arabic.Technical discussion about this at

Muli Regular font not supported
Muli Regular (open source font) does not show in InDD. The font has been installed and re-installed but program does not register that particular font. Customer Support states that Muli is not supported by Adobe, but another co-designer is able to access all fonts (on a Mac), whereas I cannot on Windows.

Font names display inconsistently
This is a strange one: we use this font https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/lus (you have to put a 't' on the end of that url, Uservoice thinks it's rude, apparently) it's Regular and Display weights. On two computers this shows up as (syntax here is [Font Family] / [Font Style]) Lus(t) / Regular and Lus(t) Display / Regular, respectively. On three others they show up as Lus(t) / Regular and Lus(t) / Display and there seems to be no way to align them.
